System and Method for Full Duplex MAC Designs Based on Backoff in Frequency Domain

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a frequency tone indicating a request to transmit first data from a first communication node;
• determining a schedule for transmitting further data based on the request;
• receiving, on a frequency channel having a frequency spectrum, the first data from the first communication node;
• and
• while receiving the first data on the frequency channel having the frequency spectrum, transmitting, in full duplex and using the frequency channel having the frequency spectrum, the further data to a second communication node according to the schedule, wherein receiving the first data from the first communication node on the frequency channel having the frequency spectrum and transmitting the further data to the second communication node on the frequency channel having the frequency spectrum both utilize a same frequency band comprising the frequency spectrum.
